Match the free neutron type with the corresponding energy Thermal neutron A. 0.0

Question

Match the free neutron type with the corresponding energy Thermal neutron A. 0.05 ev B. 0.05 Mev C. 0.2 MeV - Slow neutron - Fast neutron QUESTION 3 When a thermal neutron interacts in a material, which of the following is more probable? Absorption (capture) Inelastic scatter Elastic scatter Decay of the neutron QUESTION 4 As neutrons travel through a material, the main mechanism for energy loss is Emission of an electron. Coulomb interactions with electrons Elastic collisions with nuclei (i.e. actually smashing into them) Coulomb interactions with nuclei

Explanation / Answer

Question 2)

Thermal neutron energy = 0.05 eV

Slow neutron energy = 0.05 MeV

Fast neutron energy = 0.2 MeV

Question 3)

Thermal neutron interaction in a material leads to Absorption (capture)

Question 4)

As neutron travel through a material, the main mechanism for energy loss is emission of electron (Beta Decay process)
